Saville’s close friend Ben Mitchell also enjoyed a rankings boost this week thanks to success on the ITF Futures Tour.

The Queenslander jumped 22 places to world No.238 after winning the Canada F4 title in Kelowna, and stands to rise even higher after advancing to the semifinals – and building an eight-match winning streak in the process – of the Canada F5 tournament in Saskatoon.

Mitchell is nearing his career high ranking of 209th, set back in February 2012.

In the latest women’s rankings, Olivia Rogowska moved up 17 places to world No.110 following her victory last week at the $50,000 ITF event in Sacramento, California.

It was Rogowska’s first professional title outside of Australia, and puts her within striking distance of her career-high ranking of No.108, which she reached in October 2012.
